Timeline

1900

Born Frederick Liedtke, he changed his last name to Niblo in the early 1900s when he was performing in vaudeville and one of the theaters he worked the most was owned by a man named William Niblo.

1916

He made his film debut with two early Australian silent films in 1916. He worked for Thomas H.

1917

Fred Niblo entered films in 1917 after two decades as a touring actor in vaudeville and one-time manager of 'The Four Cohans' (he married Josephine Cohan, the sister of George M. Cohan).

Ince from 1917 as producer-director, many of his films starring his second wife, Australian actress Enid Bennett.

1918

Niblo joined Paramount under a three-year contract from 1918-21 and then settled at MGM (1923-31).

1920

He has directed two films that have been selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant: The Mark of Zorro (1920) and Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925).

1925

During this period, his chief claim to fame rests on directing the epic Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ (1925), filmed in Italy (though completed in California) at the (then) staggering cost of $4 million. Niblo was brought in by Louis B. Mayer to replace director Charles Brabin after the production ran into financial difficulties. He not only rescued it but made it into one of the biggest blockbusters of the decade. However, it was second-unit director B. Reeves Eason who deserves credit for the famous chariot race.

1926

In 1926 Niblo replaced Swedish director Mauritz Stiller who had a disagreement with producer Irving Thalberg, on Greta Garbo's The Temptress (1926).

This, alongside Camille (1926) and The Mysterious Lady (1928), were his last successes. His career failed to survive the transition to sound and even a stint in England could not resuscitate it.
